A poll conducted last October shows that most Americans want to avoid switching between daylight saving and standard time, though there is no consensus behind which should be used all year.

Thirty-two percent say they would prefer that daylight saving time be used all year.The AP-NORC poll of 1,083 adults was conducted Oct.
